Draft North & East Metro Groundwater Management Area Plan 5-7 <br /> Objective III. Groundwater use in the GWMA does not degrade water quality. <br /> 1. DNR will include compliance with local, state, and federal water quality regulations as permit <br /> conditions. <br /> a. DNR will coordinate with local,state, and federal agencies to identify water quality regulations <br /> that apply to groundwater use and clarify how best to include them in appropriation permits. <br /> 2. DNR will ensure that permitted appropriations do not degrade water quality by moving known <br /> contaminants. <br /> a. DNR will evaluate new permit applications in the GWMA for their potential to move known <br /> contaminants. <br /> b. DNR will evaluate all existing permits in the GWMA for their role in moving known <br /> contaminants.23 <br /> 3. DNR will ensure that community water supply plans take into account contaminant management. <br /> 4. DNR will improve communication about known contaminants and pollution management in the <br /> GWMA. <br /> a. DNR will use a new reporting system to describe and evaluate status of contamination and <br /> pollution plume management in the GWMA. <br /> 23 DNR has not determined the detailed steps and timeline for how we will evaluate and implement any necessary <br /> changes to existing permits. However,we recognize that this is a vital component of GWMA planning, and we are <br /> committed to working with permittees as we develop that process. <br /> 86 <br />
